Who was Hiram Abiff?

The beliefs and customs of primitive people can sometimes be traced in much of the behaviour of modern man and it is a fascinating theory to find further connections with present day Freemasonry.

This important work by the late Rev J. S. M. Ward shows how early pagan rites were adapted to later religions. With the Hiramic Legend playing such an important part in modern Masonic ceremonial it is no surprise to learn that there is a demand for further information on the background for Hiram Abiff and The Dying God legend. Although originally prepared for masonic readers, the dramatic and sometimes savage disclosures will be of interest to everyone.
